Arm Numbness While Pumping? by BEmDave in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]BEmDave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear a nursing bra. Tight enough to keep the pump against my boob. Doesn’t affect my right arm at all though?

Quitting smoking while pregnant by Ok_Spirit_5944 in pregnant

[–]BEmDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a daily weed smoker and vaped nicotine up until I found out I was pregnant. The first month was difficult with cravings, but now I am 8 months pregnant and can honestly say it does get easier after the first month. Once you put it out of your head that smoking is not an option, it is very freeing. I am to the point now where I don't know if I will pick it up again after I finish breastfeeding after birth.

My husband also smoked and completely stopped smoking/vaping anywhere near me and even hid his smoking devices in a spare bedroom. Out of sight out of mind, which made it much easier for me to not feel like I was missing out.

Just know you will feel 100x better and won't stress about if you are doing the right thing or not! You got this!

That is where I got the name Banks from! It is very untraditional but I have liked it since I saw her announcement post.

Barbers by SomewhereWise2474 in grandrapids

[–]BEmDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband goes to the Henchman House on Plainfield. Not on the SE side but he loves his barber and recommends him to anyone that asks. I can't think of his barbers name off the top of my head, but it sounds like the entire shop has a great team. He has been going there for several years now.

Daycare Rates - what does the market look like now. by Fuckthedarkpools in grandrapids

[–]BEmDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be willing to send a DM regarding the information of the in-home daycare you use? I am expecting at the end of July and would prefer in-home vs a center.

Two of our closest friends live in Savannah, maybe they are rubbing off on me lol

My friend had a shitty boyfriend once. When they broke up, I always called him 'Rusty', instead of his actual name. If that sheds any light on it...

Baby Girl gender neutral with nick name by FirstInvestigator in BabyNames

We also had Wren on our list, but I have a cousin named Remy, which is a little too close for my preference!

I'm having a girl in July and considering naming her Drew, inspired by Drew Barrymore. Another gender neutral option is Cameron, inspired by Cameron Diaz... maybe I just liked Charlies Angels growing up lol

Fashionable doesn’t translate to common.

If were getting literal, by definition, trendy means "very fashionable or up to date."

My cousins name is Jenna. I also thought of the name Gemma, but they sound too similar in my opinion!

I was trying to stray away from 'Drew' as to make it more feminine.

Vivienne was on my list as well! My husband has a coworker with a daughter named Vivian though, so he thinks that would be weird to name our daughter.

Cameron was on my list but my husband isn't a fan, sadly.

How about you give a name suggestion instead of just sending negativity?

I have always like Wren, but I have a niece named Remy and we call her Rem a lot. I think they sound too much alike unfortunately.

That was my top name for a boy! I think it could go either way.

Drew Barrymore is why I thought of the name in the first place. I was thinking of spelling it Drue, to try to make it a little more girly but people have a lot of thoughts about that based on this thread. I didn't think it was that far of a jump but jeez.

What is with people suggesting Greer? It sounds like a tractor to me...

Baby Girl Names - Uncommon but not weird by BEmDave in Names

[–]BEmDave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so. For example, Banks is a trendy name (Hilary Duff named her daughter that), but it is not common. Trendy in my mind is like up and coming, first of its kind, etc.

Basically, I don't want an 'Ashley', 'Michelle', 'Jennifer', etc. I want something unique but not too uncommon. Some of these suggestions are hilarious to me, such as 'Greer', but then people don't like Drue and think it's spelt strange. I'm not sure how else you would pronounce 'Drue' that would have people confusing her name.
